Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS will kick off the Earth Week celebration at Cape Lookout State Park with our second Stewardship Day of the season on Friday, April 18th, from 2:00pm-5:00pm. WEBS will once again be partnering with the park to offer opportunities to give back, maintain our natural areas, and restore healthy coastal landscapes. Volunteers, along with WEBS and park staff, will be planting a brand-new pollinator garden, to create habitat for native species and add a burst of color for visitors to enjoy. We will be planting Common Yarrow, Beach Daisy, Western Columbine, and more! Additional projects will include planting trees in the campground to replace those that did not survive from our original plantings, and continuing our work to keep the ivy at bay.
Activities are designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels. Families are welcome.

What to Bring:
Water bottle and snacks
Long pants and sturdy boots
Rain gear and layers to stay warm and comfortable working on the Oregon Coast
Work gloves, hand pruners, shovels, and trowels if you have them! (WEBS will also provide tools)

You’ll want to hear the fascinating story of the Cheese War, presented by the author of the book of the same name.

Marilyn Milne and her family experienced the “war,” which took place throughout the 1960s. A story not well known outside Tillamook County, yet it had a lasting impact, particularly in the Nehalem Valley.

Marilyn will be signing books at the event – be sure not to miss this fascinating presentation. Saturday, April 26, 3:30pm at North County Recreation District. Hosted by Nehalem Valley Historical Society.

NCRD PARKING LOT CLOSURE UPDATE FOR APRIL 8 AND LATER IN WEEK

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
NCRD PARKING LOT CLOSURE UPDATE: PREPPING MONDAY APRIL 7, TUESDAY APRIL 8, PAVING LATER IN THE WEEK, WATCH FOR UPDATES

Currently, Monday morning April 7th, parking lots are open at NCRD, and likely parking lots will be open tomorrow, Tuesday April 8th. The contractors are preparing for the paving which will hopefully happen later this week – Thursday April 10th – or early next week (Monday April 14, Tuesday April 15), depending upon the weather, and will impact all the parking areas.
During the closures, patrons are asked to park at the downtown Nehalem parking lot, at the pickleball courts or the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church – and the WAVE bus will provide free rides to NCRD.
When the parking lots are closed, look for the signage at the parking areas. The Tillamook County Transportation District/The Wave Route 3 bus will provide a fare-free deviation as it travels north and south through Nehalem. Each trip will travel off route to serve the pickleball courts, the parking lot at Hwy. 101 and 7th Street, and the Nehalem Methodist Church lots and take customers to NCRD; then pick up at NCRD and reverse the extra stops along the route. Look for the sandwich boards in each location for the WAVE NCRD bus. Patrons should be at the lots a few minutes before those scheduled times and can board for free after telling the driver they wish to go to NCRD.
Here are the times each Route 3 trip is scheduled to be in Nehalem: 5:53a, 6:15, 8:58, 10:00, 10:58, 12:00noon, 1:38p, 2:00p, 3:28p, 4:30p, 7:13p and 8:15p
A reminder that NCRD is still an active construction zone – no parking in the lower lot by the new aquatics center, and obey all NO PARKING signage. Please bring your patience with you when parking at NCRD and be respectful of the neighbors by not blocking driveways or entrances. If you can carpool to classes or events, please do so to lessen the impacts. Do not utilize the City rights-of-way as parking spaces, especially on the east side of 9th Street. There are cones and signage, please do not remove the cones/signage, and obey the restrictions.
There are likely to be some changes to the paving schedule and we may have to close the parking lots to accommodate equipment, and preparations for the paving and striping.
“We appreciate the patience – we’ll say it again – of our patrons and our neighbors as we negotiate the final stages of the construction of the new Aquatics Center,” said Justin Smith, Executive Director.
If you have questions, please call 855-444-6273, or go to www.ncrd.org.

A Great American Plantsman? Coming Here?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Let’s set the record straight.

We’re aware of crazy rumors around town that a world-renowned plant explorer and nurseryman is coming to talk in Manzanita.

That he once owned Heronswood Nursery on the Kitsap Peninsula, a celebrated Mecca for plant lovers far and wide…

That he now owns Windcliff Nursery, so outrageously exclusive that one needs to book in advance to shop there (seriously?)…

That Monrovia Plants thought enough of his explorations and introductions to the plant world that they gave him his very own line of plants…

And that his skills as a gardener are rivaled only by his talents as a comedian (a funny horticulturist. Right).

So. Let’s get real.

We categorically dispute the fact that the celebrated DAN HINKLEY is speaking in Manzanita. In fact, he’s speaking at NCRD in Nehalem.

We cannot deny he did own Heronswood, he does own Windcliff and yes, Monrovia offers a signature plant line called The Dan Hinkley Collection.

But now for the big question: is the guy that funny?

Well, yeah!

Join us April 25th when the Hoffman Wonder Garden presents “My Life in Plants” with the truly inimitable – and admittedly, irresistible – Mr. Dan Hinkley.

(Trust me, I wouldn’t have spent 7 years trying to get the guy here if he wasn’t!).

Coastal Community Creatives this Thursday

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: cindy.obtd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Creatives! This is what’s happening this Thursday at the White Clover Grange:

“This week we’ll be learning beginner crocheting techniques including how to hold the hook/yarn, starting a row or a round, basic stitches, keeping tension/gauge, and tips and tricks for making crochet easier! Please bring a crochet hook (I recommend a metal hook from size G/4.00 to J/6.00) and a light colored weight 4 yarn (this is also called “worsted” weight, I recommend either acrylic or wool to learn on, but cotton works great as well! Non-white, non-gradient, light colors will make stitches easiest to see.) I’m excited to help our group expand our crochet knowledge!”

Don’t forget to bring two cans of food for the Food Bank and a small donation for the Grange maintenance fund.

See you there!

MUSICAL STORY TIME at Manzanita Library

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Musical Storytime, a hands-on activity for preschoolers, will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, April 7th at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.
The free readings, for children ages 3 to 5, will feature a live oboe accompaniment by North Oregon Coast Symphony musician, Laurie Swanson. This month children will hear Do Like a Duck Does by Judy Hindley and Ivan Bates. In this story a mother duck is on a walk with her ducklings when suddenly a large, furry, brown duck joins the group. Drama, rhythm, and sunny images in this book make it a favorite with young children. Swanson will talk more about the instruments she plays, the oboe and English horn, and will demonstrate playing both during this event. After the reading, children will experience playing some different wind instruments.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between The North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library and Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.
